    Drink Safe Certified is a community safety program working with local bars, restaurants, and venues to prevent drink spiking. Through staff training, awareness materials, and public education, we’re creating safer nights out in Niagara.

    If You Suspect Drink Spiking

    If you believe your drink—or someone else’s—may have been tampered with:

    1. Tell a staff member immediately.

    2. Stop drinking from the glass.

    3. If feeling unwell, seek medical attention.

    4. Report the incident to police or anonymously to Crime Stoppers.
